Review: Shimano XC7 Shoes with Boa Closures

Shimano’s mountain bike shoes have long been a personal favorite since I was but a wee 24-year-old making the switch to clipless pedals from flats. Over the intervening 10+ years, I’ve worn through a dozen pairs of Shimano shoes. There are three main factors that keep me coming back to Shimano’s shoes: a consistent fit, durability, …

Watch: FSA SL-K Carbon Cockpit Review

The SL-K handlebar measures out at 740mm with 18mm of …

Primal Sky Hoodie Review

For years, Primal has stuck to creating the core clothing needs of the cyclist — the jersey and the bibs (or shorts for those who aren’t keen on the shoulder straps). Recently they’ve made a push to expand their clothing line to attire that’s worn both on and off the saddle. The Sky is a lightweight …

Watch: Pedaling Innovations Catalyst Pedal Long Term Review

In June of 2016 I did a “first impressions” video on my thoughts of the Catalyst Pedal by Pedaling Innovations.  At the time I was a bit skeptical about some of the claims behind these pedals but after spending a considerable amount of time riding on them in a few different disciples (XC, AM, and DH) I’m convinced that …
